far nascere un piatto o produrre un vino sono attività che si assomigliano intimamente perché entrambe combinano odori e sapori per aprire scatoline dentro di noi piene di ricordi, immagini sconosciute, viaggi emozionanti che durano il tempo di un assaggio. E ci lasciano un ricordo confuso ma ricco di esperienze e slanci di ricerca Creating a dish or a wine is a quite similar activity, since both try to mix flavours and herbs in order to let people travel through memories, images, trips which last the time of a simple byte. They leave us with a memory confused, but full of experience

Great Wines of Italy // James Suckling Event // December 5, 2012

Today, December 5th, we just assisted to the bigger event in Hong Kong dedicated to Italian Wines

James Suckling organized a great wine tasting on December 4 and an elegant (but funny) gala dinner on December 5 at the Island Shangri-la Hotel.

Each winery attending was selected for its history of producing outstanding wines. In fact, all the wines poured during the event have outstanding reviews – 90 points or more.
